ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional
so that we can clearly show points being made in the
illustrations. Never operate the saw without all guards
securely in place and in good operating condition.
DUST GUIDE
See Figure 9.
Insert the dust guide inside the exhaust port in the upper
blade guard. Turn the guide so that the open end is facing
down.
DUST BAG
See Figure 10.
A dust bag is provided for use on your miter saw. It fits
over a dust guide or exhaust port. Then, squeeze the two
metal clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide it on the
exhaust port. Release the clips. The metal ring in the bag
should lock in between the grooves on the exhaust port.
To remove the dust bag for emptying, simply reverse the
above procedure.
NOTE: For efficient operation, empty the dust bag before it
is half full. This will permit better air flow through the bag.
INSTALLING THE WORK CLAMP
See Figure 11.
WARNING:
In some operations, the work clamp assembly
may interfere with the operation of the blade guard
assembly. Always make sure there is no interfer-
ence with the blade guard prior to beginning any
cutting operation to reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the
workpiece to the miter table. It also helps to prevent the
workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very
helpful when cutting compound miters. Depending on the
cutting operation and the size of the workpiece, it may be
necessary to use a C-clamp instead of the work clamp to
secure the workpiece prior to making the cut. The work clamp
can be installed and used on either side of the blade.
To install the work clamp:
Place the work clamp shaft in one of the holes located
behind the sliding miter fence.
NOTE: Align the pin on the work clamp shaft with the slot
in the hole.
Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it up or down
as needed.
NOTE: The work clamp has a quick release lever that makes
positioning of the work clamp effortless. Loosen the clamp
then push the button on the side of the work clamp to quickly
release the workpiece.
